The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday gave an update on ace pacer Naseem Shah’s health who had suffered a shoulder injury during the Asia Cup this year and was unable to participate in the ICC World Cup as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The right-arm fast bowler also underwent surgery in the United Kingdom in October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah started the final stage of his rehabilitation today at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore,\u201d the PCB said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe young pacer was injured during the Asia Cup in September, after which he underwent surgery in the United Kingdom. Following the surgery, he remained in the UK for two months for rehabilitation and initial training as the PCB covered his medical costs and he received continuous care from a team of expert medical staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNaseem\u2019s rehabilitation is being continued at NCA, Lahore under the care of a strength and conditioning coach, a physiotherapist and a doctor. Currently, he is doing light gym exercises and partial bowling practice and will start batting tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Quetta Gladiators\u2019 premium pacer Naseem joined Islamabad United in a major swap deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naseem was the topic of discussion among the cricket fraternity, and every PSL franchise was doing its best to get the 20-year-old on board after it was reported that the right-arm pacer had decided to leave Quetta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quetta now has received Islamabad’s first-round Platinum pick while the latter has bagged Quetta’s third-round Platinum pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were strong rumours that Naseem might end up joining Multan Sultans, who recently got Iftikhar Ahmed in another swap deal, or Peshawar Zalmi, but Islamabad came out triumphant in the race to get the pacer\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
